Thank you for the kind works. Many people in the States love the Puch. It is probably the most popular moped brand over here. For me the Monza was a natural selection because I much prefer bikes with a manual transmission--when I saw the Monza I knew it was the moped for me. ;)

While it was a long time ago my family came from Austria, and that is the origin of our family name. ;) I hope to be able to travel to Europe within a year or so, buy a Moto, and ride around visiting places like the Avelo AC factory. The Derbi Barcelona factory, and also ride to countries such as Austria, Switzerland, and others.

As for bikes for this adventure--I'm likely to get a Derbi, or Bultaco. Whichever I get it will be a two stroke! For sure though it would be awesome to visit you when I do go over there. I very much want to meet the friends I've made here on this foro. :)
